The opening stretch is town: queues, junctions, a cold engine, and a brake that has not been used since the previous weekend. Accossato's AGPA42 rear pads for the Aprilia RSV4 Factory of 2009 to 2011 and 2013 to 2016 are offered in the Sintered (ST) compound, which the company credits with the same grip level whether the material is cold or hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSintered (ST) rear brake pads for the Aprilia RSV4 Factory, 2009 to 2011 and 2013 to 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato's list names the RSV4 1000 Factory and the RSV4 1000 Factory APRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference AGPA42; the box holds the pair that fills the rear caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato: constant grip hot and cold, plus reliable bite on a wet disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic and ceramic racing versions of this pad are listed as well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront pads for this Aprilia: Accossato AGPA106, one box per caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato's disc for the model is the DKS032\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE or test mark on record; racing and competition use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Accossato promises for ST is consistency: a high grip level that changes little between a cold pad and a hot one, and honest bite when the disc is wet. At the rear that consistency counts most in the first few minutes of a ride, when nothing on the machine is up to temperature and the pedal is being used for small adjustments in traffic. The firm designs its pads to wear slowly and to hold their own heat in check, and while a rear brake rarely troubles either limit, the same recipe gives it a predictable response from the very first application of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Slow Part of Every Ride\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery good ride begins with a dull one. The first stretch is usually urban, the engine is cold, the tyres are colder, and the bike is at its least comfortable. This is where the rear brake does most of its annual work: creeping in a queue, holding on an incline at the lights, trimming speed between parked cars without touching the front. A machine as tall and firmly sprung as an RSV4 Factory is far easier to handle in that environment when the pedal gives a progressive response rather than an on-off one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth noticing what such use does to the brake. Town work leaves the rear pads with plenty of material and a polished surface, and the caliper collects everything the road offers while the bike moves slowly enough for dirt to settle rather than blow away. Wash behind the rear wheel from time to time, keep the disc clear of chain lubricant, and apply the pedal firmly once or twice on an empty road so that pads and disc keep clean, even contact with one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato quotes the AGPA42 for the RSV4 1000 Factory from 2009 to 2011 and for the RSV4 1000 Factory APRC from 2013 to 2016; the 2012 model year is not part of that list. The rear caliper takes a single box. At the front the same bike uses the AGPA106, one box per caliper and two calipers in total, while the DKS032 is the Accossato disc listed for this machine. Fit rear pads in pairs and check that they slide freely once the caliper is back together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo German ABE and no test mark have been supplied with these rear pads, so they leave us as racing and competition parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne box with two sintered AGPA42 pads, the complete set for one rear caliper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: AGPA42ST\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: Sintered (ST)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 50.9 × 53.9 × 7.3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sintered copper friction material with abrasives and carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriction coefficient: 0.46 average, 0.52 maximum (dyno test to JASO standard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDensity: 4.50 g\/cm³ at 20 °C (+0.10 \/ −0.05)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 90 HRR (± 10 HRR, Rockwell HRR scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature resistance: 450 °C working, 600 °C maximum peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum shear strength: 30 kg\/cm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents: 2 brake pads, one set for one caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Accossato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53815647043850,"sku":"AGPA42ST","price":41.11,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/AGPA42_ST_e86851ba-c685-4a1a-bf33-e3ee5d6a096b.png?v=1790611004","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/accossato-sintered-rear-brake-pads-aprilia-rsv4-factory-2009-2011-2013-2016-agpa42st","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
